Nichols Hills Elementary expected to get gym

A long-awaited dream for a local elementary school could finally become a reality.

According to Oklahoma City public schools officials, Nichols Hills Elementary has been trying to get a gym for nearly a decade.

Nichols Hills Elementary is expected to finally get a gym with a safe room, according to the Oklahoma City public school board agenda. The board recently rejected the very latest plans for a gym because it didn't include designs for a safe room.

The board is also expected to announce the architect they're chosen to design the gym, and approve $60 million worth of bonds to pay for the project, and other projects.

Wheeler, West Nichols Hills, and Monroe are also expected to get the green light for new classrooms and gyms. To read Monday night's agenda, click here.
